~2,000 kcal Ovo-Vegetarian Fat Loss Day
Protein is usually the hard part of a meat-free fat-loss diet. This example day covers it with eggs, dal, paneer, curd and one whey scoop. Its meals add up to about 2,000 kcal — more than the 1,800 kcal target it was first written for. Your own calorie needs depend on your body and activity.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the right calorie level for me?
It can't be decided from a sample page. Whether about 2,000 kcal is a deficit depends on your body size and activity. Track your weekly average weight for a few weeks and adjust portions from there.
Can I actually hit 140 g protein without meat?
This example gets there with eggs, dal, paneer, curd and one whey scoop. Drop one of them and the day's protein falls well short, so replace it with another protein source.
How long can I run this?
There is no fixed length. Many people diet in blocks of several weeks with breaks at maintenance; watch your energy, training and weekly weight trend.
Do I need cheat meals?
No. Some people find one planned flexible meal a week helps them stick to a plan. Several large meals in one day can outweigh a week of smaller savings.
